Title : Present  Status of the Gravitational Lens Investigation
Abstract :  Gravitational lenses were discovered more than 20 years ago. Gravitational lensing  investigations  now are powerful tool both for cosmological investigation and for investigation of dark matter in all cosmic scales from  galactic scales up to scales  of large scale structure. The discovery of accelerated expansion of our Universe gives new imprint for gravitational lens investigation. In this talk the achievments and perspectives in the gravitational lensing is presented and discussed.
